5. Policy context: the European Digital Single Market
1.Better access for consumers and businesses
to digital goods and services across Europe
Unlocking the e-commerce potential
Enable SMEs and start-ups to scale-up
End to geoblocking of goods and services
2. Shaping the right environment for
digital networks and services to flourish
Establish role of online platforms
Telecoms rules fit for the digital age
Improved data protection rules
Combat illegal content online
3. Building a European Digital Economy
and society with growth potential
Big data and Cloud Strategy
Digitalising European Industry
e-Government Action Plan
Standardisation
e-Skills
Access to data

6. The data economy

7. Data-driven applications …
home automation
health
lifecycle management
water management
information marketplaces
market research
traffic
management
energy management
… will revolutionise decision making!
… have great economic potential!

8. We need efficient statistical data ecosystem/s

9. Transformation of organisations
Organisations evolving towards more service oriented approach. Focus on the service and the customer and not in the product itself
Organisations developing shared services that can scale-up and be reused

10. Create Services for reuse
Services should be created once and then reused many times
How the statistical community can benefit from this approach?

11. CSPA as enabler for building shared-services (current situation)

CSPA is a reference architecture for the statistical industry build by the international statistical community. It includes technology architecture and principles but does not prescribe technology environments

12. CSPA as enabler for building shared-services (targeted model)

CSPA is a reference architecture for the statistical industry build by the international statistical community. It includes technology architecture and principles but does not prescribe technology environments ?

13. Building the future of European statistics
Political: DSM (Digital Single Market)
Statistical: European Statistical System (ESS) members are committed to sharing and reuse. Members and Eurostat participate in standards building and maintenance (CSPA, GSBPM…)

14. WHAT? Five priority areas
better understand and address user needs
be a global partner and leader for innovation
build strategic alliances with public and private partners
Users
abide with the European Statistics Code of Practice
apply fit-for-purpose tools to enhance quality assurance
assess the usability and quality of source data
Quality
exploit potential of new data sources
invest in new IT tools and methodology
continue to improve existing data collection methods
New data sources
adopt a new dissemination and communication strategy
create a data pool of European statistics
optimise ESS portfolio of products and services
promote European statistics as a brand
Dissemination
further intensify the collaborative partnership of the ESS
further identify and implement standards for statistical production
adopt enterprise architecture as a common reference framework
advance in sharing IT services and infrastructure
benefit from exchange of (micro)data, while fully respecting statistical confidentiality
Production process

15. Shared SERVices
Goal: Developing and sharing IT services in the ESS by implementing UNECE's steered Common Statistical Production Architecture (CSPA)
Achievements:
Infrastructure for centrally hosting services set up
Service catalogue for ESS and CSPA community (soon with integrated lifecycle of services)
Interaction and advice to Validation and ESBRs
National Accounts started deploying SERV
ESSnet building example services in NSIs and guidelines
Phase 2 launched by the ESSC

16. First finalised ESS project: Validation
Project successfully finalised: methodological handbook, validation language (VTL), architecture, service prototypes
Now – following a roadmap for implementation at the national level
Start with 7 pilot domains and 8 pilot countries
Even on this code list, most codes can be agreed.
